‘Pumping of over ₹2.7L cr in 7 years into farm, allied sector schemes helped GSDP growth’
Rythu Bandhu, the investment support scheme under which every landholding farmer gets ₹10,000 per acre every year, is a revolutionary scheme that is acting as protection shield to farmers along with Rythu Bima as the benefit (grant) that reached about 2.5 crore population or nearly 65 lakh families has crossed ₹50,000 crore on Monday, Minister for IT and Industries K.T. Rama Rao has said.
“Nobody ever dreamt of farmers getting ₹10,000 per acre as investment support every year until Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao conceived and unveiled it and reached ₹50,000 crore in eight crop seasons since 2018-19 kharif,” Mr. Rama Rao, who is also the working president of the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), said here on Monday while speaking to media persons as part of the Rythu Bandhu celebrations.
Irrespective of their acknowledgement, it was a fact known by all that the BJP-led government at the Centre had launched ‘Har Ghar Jal’ scheme based on the Telangana’s Mission Bhagiratha scheme and Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) based on Rythu Bandhu, Mr. Rama Rao said and suggested the BJP and Congress leaders visiting the State “as political tourists” to let there be a debate on schemes being implemented by the States ruled by them and Telangana and not just reeling out misinformation.
